Remarks
The Swift 18 was designed as a fast, yet comfortable, trailer sailor, with enough built in buoyancy to be virtually unsinkable if swamped, even with 3 crew aboard. When reviewed in April 1982, Practical Boat Owner magazine said of the Swift 18, "in a nasty Force 6/7 and with 2 reefs in the main she stayed light on the helm, was well balanced and galloped along like a racehorse".
This Swift 18 is currently lying ashore on her trailer in west Norfolk. Full details and photos available soon.
